The Radio is a type of Item found in SCP: Secret Laboratory.

In Game

Radios allow for long range communication between other players who have Radios, regardless of what team they may be on.

Radios start with 100% charge, which will slowly deplete if the Radio remains active. Higher ranges will drain power faster.

Holding down V will allow the player to use the Radio. The Radio does not need to be equipped in order to use it.

One can change the channels by equipping the Radio and pressing Left Click. There are currently 4 ranges: Short Range, Medium Range, Long Range and Ultra Range (SR, MR, LR, UR).

The Radio can be turned on or off by pressing Right Click.
While the Radio is turned off, battery will not be consumed.

Spawning

Standard Lockers [6.25%]
Weapon Locker Type 21 (Drawer) [25%]
LCZ Armory [100%]
HCZ Ammunition Armory [100%]
Spawns on all MTF Operatives and Facility Guards.
- The Radio will automatically be turned on upon spawning and set to the MR range.

Range

Short Range - 1087.2 Hallways <br />m
Medium Range - 18012 Hallways <br />m
Long Range - 108072 Hallways <br />m
Ultra Range - 7200480 Hallways <br />m

One hallway is 15 meters. If two players are using different ranges on the Radio, the range the two can communicate will be the range of whatever range is the best between them. (i.e. A player with Radio set to Short Range can still communicate with players on Medium Range who are more than 108 meters away but less than 180 meters)

Power Usage

The Radio has a limited and short battery life that it uses up over time before dying. The power usages depends on range and if the radio is idle or currently being used to broadcast. Receiving a message does not deplete the battery faster. The Radio has a battery life of 200 units.

Range	Idle	Talking	Total Idle Time	Total Talk Time
Short	0.5 units per minute	40 units per minute	400 minutes	5 minutes
Medium	1.2 units per minute	60 units per minute	166.67 minutes	3.33 minutes
Long	4.5 units per minute	120 units per minute	44.44 minutes	1.67 minutes
Ultra	13.5 units per minute	240 units per minute	14.81 minutes	0.83 minutes

When the Radio's model was first changed, its inventory icon was still of the old model.
- This was fixed in v11 when the Radio got an overhaul with a second model change.
